2) Electrical Inspections for Home Inspectors
Course L2832-02 (2 credits)
·
May 18 from 8 - 10 am
Face it, the electrical system is one of the most difficult-to-understand systems that we need to competently evaluate during a home inspection. During this class, we will perform a virtual inspection on the ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, focusing on what our responsibilities include, as well as the “how” factor while conducting this part of our inspection. Not only do we need to fully understand the system, we also need to be able to explain these components and issues found to our clients in simple, understandable terms.
We will begin on the outside of the structure, explaining and identifying components and what to look for during the inspection. From there we will dig into the electrical panels, both primary and secondary, discuss grounding and bonding, proper wire size-to-breakers, common defects found in panels, such as double tapped circuits, over-fusing, top-tapping… as well as discuss detached building panels. Lastly, we will discuss procedures for inspecting devices throughout the building, including how to determine if a receptacle is properly wired, and common defects found “in the field”. This will include discussion on ungrounded 3-prong receptacles, reversed-polarity, GFCI and ARC fault receptacles and where they should be located, and much more!

4) Outside the Envelope - Exterior Home Inspections
Course L1103-02 (2 credits)
·
May 18 from 10:15 am - 12:15 pm
This class was designed to go through the processes used to conduct the Exterior portion of a home inspection, starting from the eaves, and working our way all the way down the building to the grounds around the house. It also touches on the procedures learned, used, and tweaked over the years to improve our analysis and the efficiency of our inspection. Face it, we all have our way of doing things, but this class is designed to have you take a hard look at the “what” and the “how” and maybe find some processes and procedures to add to your repertoire. This is an excellent class for newer inspectors and a great recap for seasoned inspectors. Hey, I’ve been doing this for 27 years, and I still find ways to improve my system!
